Can Games Brainwash?!?
Throughout my youth i have played my share of videogames. My dad had bought my brother and I the original Nintendo when it first came out. We played that so much that i was mastering whole games at a reletively young age. That went on when we got the Nintendo 64. There were many games that i played like the sporting games and racing and such. But some of these games, now that I look back can reaaly alter a childs way of approaching a problem or how to solve a problem all together. Its necessary for a child to get into the mindset of that game that he or she is playing. For instance the 007 game was based around a secret agent, James Bond and how to be an international 00agent. When a child probes their surroundings, they learn quickly how to avoid certain enemies within the game and how to be a good shooter. Many children just play the game for the amusment, but it's making violence ok in thier eyes. When they are exposed to on a daily basis, they good apply violent reactions in real life. Games are gettin more and more realistic every year. When a sub-reality in games fades into thier actual reality then many lines can be crossed. Im not against games in any way because ill still find myslef playing occasionally, but it just open your eyes of the possibilities that these games and change a kids way of solving real life problems because they probed so deeply into thier gaming surroundings.
